Quarterly trends
From December 2023, we have discontinuedPORT0501from the quarterly port freight statisticsdue to low user engagement.PORT0501presented tonnage and unit totals at the national level as indices. National level tonnage and unit totals will remain available in PORT0502.
Following user feedback, the department are trialling publishing estimates of cargo group alongside the quarterly Port Freight Statistics, in a proposed third quarterly table PORT0503.
This new data is regarded as statistics in development, awaiting user feedback and further quality assurance to provide timely estimates. You can provide feedback about this change by filling in this form. We continue to welcome any feedback on any aspect of the port freight statistics (see contact details).
